Healthy Broccoli Loaf (Low Carb + Gluten Free)
A delicious and simple to make broccoli dish that’s also low carb and high protein!
This is one of my favorite recipes because it’s got the fiber from the broccoli, its low carb, easy to throw together and it tastes amazing! You can enjoy this for breakfast with your tea or coffee or as a light snack. Lunch works too with my Lazy Tzatziki Dip – the perfect combination.
If you don’t have potato starch, you can use corn starch. Any neutral oil works here like avocado oil or even melted butter. Also you can use any shredded cheese in this recipe.

I made this b,roccoli loaf and it was so good! It took a little over an hour to fully cook, but not a big deal. I have a question: Why did you use 5 tablespoons (around 50 grams) of corn/potato starch instead of some type of flour? Thanks!
HI Cami, I’m so happy you ended up loving it! Thanks for the kind rating!
How many grams is one serving?
To die for!!!! It’s super easy to make the touch of dill reminds me of my Granny’s food from the Ukraine!
Hi Shanda, i love that feeling! I get it too with certain ingredients!
Scientists just recently published a scientific study that said broccoli releases more of it’s beneficial phytochemicals after it is ‘damaged’ (cut, broken, etc.) The time they suggested was up to 90 minutes. They even recommended finely chopped as in this recipe for maximum ‘damage’ and therefore maximum phytochemical release.
Very good… Thank you Stella 7g🙏😊
Anyone who had a problem I suspect did not make sure the broccoli was not wet or damp. I used a bit more cheddar cheese like another 1/3 of a cup; it needed it, and I would also top it off with a layer of cheddar on top. Followed the recipe precisely and it came out amazing. Toast it the next day with applesauce or yogurt or sour cream or Tahini sauce. Can be frozen.
